I can't control an external device via IR and TriggerSolution Refer to Page

0 Check the control cable connection between HEOS Link and the AV receiver or amplifier. 42

I don't hear anything from the HEOS LinkSolution Refer to Page

0 Check the connection between HEOS Link and the AV receiver or amplifier. 140 Check that the correct input source is being used for the AV receiver or amplifier. –0 Check that HEOS Link and the AV receiver or amplifier are at a suitable volume. –0 Check that the external device connected to HEOS Link is connected and playing correctly. 15

Music cuts out or delays sometimesSolution Refer to Page

0 Make sure your Internet connection is operating correctly. If you are sharing your network with other users or devices, they maybe using most of your bandwidth (especially if they are streaming video).

0 Make sure your HEOS devices are within range of your wireless network. 460 Make sure your HEOS devices are not located near other electronic devices that could interfere with it’s wireless connectivity

(like microwave ovens, cordless phones, TVs, etc…).46

I hear a delay when using the external input with my TVSolution Refer to Page

0 If you are connecting the External input with your cable or satellite box for enjoying TV audio through multiple HEOS devices,you may hear a delay between when you see someone speak and when you hear the audio. This is because the HEOS systemmust buffer the audio before it sends it out to the HEOS devices so that it arrives at all devices at the same time.

－

0 You can avoid this delay by listening only to the device which is directly connected to the set top box. －


53

I hear distortion when using the AUX inputSolution Refer to Page

0 The analog output signals from some sources can be fairly strong. If the input level of the source device is turned up high, itcould overload the inputs of the HEOS device. This is unlikely to cause damage, but can cause distorted sound. Initially, set thevolume of the source to a medium – low level, then turn it up as needed. If you hear distortion, turn down the device’s volumecontrol.

39

Connecting to a WPS networkSolution Refer to Page

If your wireless router support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™) your HEOS wireless device can optionally connect to your networkusing the “Push Button” method by following these steps:Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ is trademarks of Wi-Fi Alliance.1. Press the WPS button on your router.2. Within 2 minutes, press and hold the Connect button on the rear panel of the HEOS device for 3 seconds.3. The LED on the front of the device will flash green for several seconds as it connects to your WPS router.4. When the connection is complete, the LED on the front of the device will turn solid blue.
